Hello,

I am practicing java from this link. 

https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_strings.asp

JAVA

        String txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
        System.out.println("The length of the txt string is: " + txt.length());

Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.lang.String to DataTypesCasting.String

Fixed it using the suggested fix:

        java.lang.String txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

Can you please tell me why I had to replace String by   java.lang.String? 

Thanks!

It sounds like you are importing some packages with another class named "String".

You have to specify java.lang.String because you have imported a different String class and it assumes you meant that other one.
